 STOP SAND MINING SAVE TARA ITI

Photo: Darren Markin

Help protect some of Northland’s most beautiful coastal regions home to our most endangered bird, the tara iti, and the hawksbill sea turtle.

The private company, McCallum Bros Ltd, continues to mine and proposes to extract millions more cubic metres of sand from the seabed in Mangawhai, Pakiri and Te Akau Bream Bay over the next 35 years. 
Why This Matters:
 

🚫 Destruction of seabed ecosystems and fisheries

🌊 Loss of natural coastal protection

🐟 Threats to marine life and eco-tourism

🐣 Habitat destruction and endangered species at risk 

🫂 Negative effects on local communities
